Aerial Vehicle Map Determination

1. A method comprising: determining information associated with a camera of an aerial vehicle, the information including a length of a footprint of the camera and a width of the footprint of the camera, the length of the footprint being based on a horizontal component of a field of view (FOV) and an altitude of the camera and the width of the footprint being based on a vertical component of the field of view (FOV) and the altitude of the camera; determining a localized map based on the information associated with the camera; and overlaying the localized map on a vector map.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the vector map includes at least one of a road network, railroad network, airport, elevation contour, coastline, boundary, or index of geographical names.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining information associated with the camera of the aerial vehicle comprises: receiving sensor data from the aerial vehicle; determining the altitude of the camera based on the sensor data; determining the information associated with the camera based on the altitude of the camera and the FOV of the camera; and determining the footprint of the camera based on the information associated with the camera.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining the localized map based on the information associated with the camera comprises: receiving images from the camera; and determining the localized map based on the images and the footprint of the camera.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: de-warping the images.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein de-warping the images comprises at least one of distortion correction or chromatic aberration correction.

7. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: determining a position of the camera relative to an initial position of the camera, wherein the initial position is associated with the sensor data and the images.

8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the sensor data comprises any of global positioning system (GPS) data and barometric data.

9. A system comprising: an aerial vehicle including a camera, a processor, and a memory, the memory including instructions that when executed cause the processor to: determine information associated with the camera, the information including a length of a footprint of the camera and a width of the footprint of the camera, the length of the footprint being based on a horizontal component of a field of view (FOV) and an altitude of the camera and the width of the footprint being based on a vertical component of the field of view (FOV) and the altitude of the camera; determine a localized map based on the information associated with the camera; and overlay the localized map on a vector map, the vector map including geographical information.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the vector map further includes at least one of a road network, railroad network, airport, elevation contour, coastline, boundary, or index of geographical name.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein to determine information associated with the camera of the aerial vehicle comprises to: receive sensor data from the aerial vehicle; determine the altitude of the camera based on the sensor data; determine the information associated with the camera based on the altitude of the camera and the FOV of the camera; and determine the footprint of the camera based on the information associated with the camera.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein to determine the localized map based on the information associated with the camera comprises to: receive images from the camera; and determine the localized map based on the images and the footprint of the camera.

13. The system of claim 12 , further causing the processor to: de-warp the images.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein to de-warp the images comprises at least one of distortion correction or chromatic aberration correction.

15. The system of claim 12 , further causing the processor to: determine a position of the camera relative to an initial position of the camera, wherein the initial position is associated with the sensor data and the images.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising stored instructions that, when executed, causes at least one processor to: determine information associated with a camera of an aerial vehicle, the information including a length of a footprint of the camera and a width of the footprint of the camera, the length of the footprint being based on a horizontal component of a field of view (FOV) and an altitude of the camera and the width of the footprint being based on a vertical component of the field of view (FOV) and the altitude of the camera; determine a localized map based on the information associated with the camera; and overlay the localized map on a vector map, the vector map including at least one of a road network, railroad network, airport, elevation contour, coastline, boundary, or index of geographical name.
